Liked: They run great tours that help you meet people. There's free wi-fi and free pasta and the staff are great, loved it when they dressed up in white gowns and sang Christmas carols for us! I also really like the "cafe" in the reception, really good coffee and food and it's reasonably priced.

Disliked: Nothing really

Liked: The communal facilities in the other part of the building were brilliant and it's a great way to meet people.

Disliked: We stayed in the studio apartment which was very cold and quite outdated. We also had to hoover the room and take out the bins which I wasn't expecting from the hostel.

Liked: It's a nice safe clean property where the staff are friendly and prices reasonable.

Disliked: The doors and beds are very very squeaky! They need to invest in some WD40! I kept being woken up during the night because the door would make such a noise being opened. Also, all the showers on the bottom floor was a bit annoying if your staying on the first floor.

Liked: The on site sauna is fantastic during the cold days. So nice to come back to the hostel and warm up. Showers were always hot and our female dorm had heated floors in the bathroom which was outstanding. This place is really secure and has a nice vibe. There is always someone around to meet and hang out with. Location is also very good. Would stay here again for sure.

Disliked: Shauna left no negative feedback.

13 November 2010 Emmett would recommend this property

Liked: This is an excellent hostel. The staff are friendly and helpful, lots of computers with extremely fast internet, large lockers in the room, good for meeting other backpackers, warm quilts, free pasta, clean and modern TV lounge. The kitchen does get quite busy in the evening, but that's pretty typical for all popular hostels, and even when it was busy you could still always get a seat. Always plenty of space in the fridges as well, which isn't always the case with popular hostels. Not too far from the train station and the bus station either.

Disliked: Emmett left no negative feedback.

Liked: The kitchen is large and the common room is a great place to meet people. Free pasta means that lots of people hang around the kitchen/common room so it was a great, fun hostel.

Disliked: The only thing, if I had to pick something out, was that there were not enough bathrooms. You always had to wait for the toilet and showers were downstairs and not on the floor you stay on. Other than that it was perfect!

Liked: Good facilities and great extras like free bike hire, free use of the sauna for an hour a day and good kitchen/lounge area which makes it easy to meet people. Nice cafe also.

Disliked: Whilst it didn't affect me personally as they were not in my room, in another of the dorms there was a very young baby. Spoke to several people who got barely no sleep due to the baby being in their room crying all night. Very shocked that a youth hostel would let a baby in one of the dorms.

Liked: Clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. Take the guided tours offered by the hostel staff- they are in small groups and you will learn lots while meeting others who are staying at the hostel.

Disliked: Having never stayed at a hostel, I had no idea what to expect. The staff were friendly, but they did not preemptively offer advice or try to guide me. More explanations as to the services available and how to take advantage of them would be useful.
